2014 BMW X6

The second generation of the BMW X6 at the 2014 Moscow Motor Show will present a car that is in all of its segments best. Which means: equipped with all available technology, equipment and entertainment systems, so far seen in the market. Someone is bound to ask what’s wrong with that? We can say nothing but hunters omissions in any vehicle found at least one, and such is the case here. Did inability to load large luggage in 2014 BMW X6 SAC should be characterized as a failure?

On this occasion, we will try to the question, answer the question. Is there a perfect car, and what percentage of customers global market, would considered it just as perfect? The current model of the BMW X6 2008 will replace a new and more aggressive 2014 BMW X6, which is characterized by a combination of coupe design with SUV capabilities, which, in particular trim level definitely bordering on the possibilities of one supercar. The new X6 will be placed on the X5 platform, which will make it longer and more spacious, especially in the area for passengers in the rear. The four-door, designed for 4 people, 2014 X6 will be available in all possible ways, to satisfy an infinite number of different customer requirements, either as a family car or a sports utility vehicle.


Both models, the 2014 BMW X6: xDrive 35i and xDrive 50i are equipped with intelligent all-wheel drive system. They differ primarily by mutual engines, which are equipped with. xDrive 35i powered 3.0L turbocharged engine with 6 cylinders, 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, and the xDrive 50i under the hood hides TwinTurbo 4.4L V8 engine with 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. But, of the better, there is better because BMW offers the 2014 BMW X6 M model, which is considered the range-topping model in which this V8 engine develops maximum power of 555 hp. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed Sport automatic transmission and Steptronic manual shift mode. At 19″ aluminum wheels, this dragon of a car, fantastic distributes power between the rear wheels through Dynamic Performance Control, which is standard equipment.

As for the interior, 2014 BMW X6, some say its luxurious look and appearance of individual elements in the control panel, the interior is more reminiscent of a sedan, the highest class, rather than an SUV. Exceptionally high standard of quality and quantity of equipment, the new 2014 X6 is not part of a package, but the standard, regardless of the model. There can be distinguished: automatic climate control, audio system with 10 speakers, bi-xenon headlamps, dynamic cruise control, parking sensors, (front and rear), HD radio, leather upholstery, power moonroof, power liftgate, 10-way adjustable power seats, and much more. xDrive 50i model certainly boasts package that includes: four zone climate control, iDrive infotainment system which includes, voice activated navigation system (BMW Apps support), audio systems, multi-color seats, 12GB of media storage and DVD entertainment system.


With “only” 60 cubic meters of space (when the rear seat folds forward), 2014 X6 is equipped with all the systems of protection, starting with the front side impact airbags, overhead curtain airbags, Tire Pressure Monitor, Parking sensors (front and rear), Traction Control, Rollover Sensor, Dynamic Stability Control and Anti lock disc brakes. All this certainly justifies the price of a new generation X6, which will range from $ 59,000 for the 2014 BMW X6 xDrive 35i model to $ 70,500, how much it will cost 2014 BMW X6 xDrive 50i model. For now known price of 2014 BMW X6 M model will amount to about $ 90.000.

The BMW 327

The BMW 327 is a medium sized touring coupé produced by the Bavarian firm between 1937 and 1941,and again produced after 1945. It sat on a shortened version of the BMW 326 chassis.

Euro Touring : BMW E24 635 Race Car

The first 327, launched in 1937, was a cabriolet. In 1938, this was joined by a fixed head coupé version. The car was shorter and lower than its sedan counterpart, but shared the famous BMW grill and a streamlined form representative of the more progressive designs of the 1930s.

Mechanically, the car utilised the hydraulic brake control, gear box, clutch and front suspension system first seen on the BMW 326, along with the live axle used on the BMW 320 and BMW 328. The BMW M78 straight-6 engine was used. The advertised top speed was 125 km/h (78 mph).[citation needed]

A higher-powered model, the 327/28, was offered with the M328 engine. 569 of these high-powered 327/28 cars were built up to 1940.

1999 - 2003 BMW Z8

The BMW 327

The BMW Z8 was a convertible sports car automobile produced by BMW from 1999 to 2003. It was given the E52 BMW model code.

The Z8 originated from a prototype designated Z07, which was designed by Henrik Fisker at BMW’s Designworks in Southern California. It was showcased at the Tokyo Auto Show in 1997. The car was originally designed as a styling exercise to both echo and celebrate the BMW 507 of the 1950s for its 50th birthday.

The overwhelming popularity of the prototype show-car led to the decision to put the car into limited production, to be designated Z8. The car was featured in the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough in late 1999. About 5700 Z8s were built, with about half of them exported to the USA.

BMW Z8 (E52)

  

With production of the Z8 completed by November 2002, for 2003 the Z8 production was replaced by the Alpina V8 Roadster.[4] The Alpina was a departure from the hard-edged sporting focus of the original car, and elements of the new grand touring intent were evident throughout this final edition. Instead of the original six-speed manual and 4.9 L (S62) engine featured in earlier Z8's, the Alpina came only as an automatic, using a five-speed BMW Steptronic transmission allied to a downgraded 4.8 L Alpina-tuned V8 motor from the Alpina E39 B10 V8 S. In order to complete the car's transition from sportscar to boulevardier, relaxed suspension tuning was used. The standard Z8's run-flat tires and 18 in (46 cm) wheels were discarded in favor of conventional tires with softer sidewalls, and 20 in (51 cm) wheels. A new, softer grade of Nappa leather replaced the Z8's less supple specification, and special Alpina gauges were featured on the dash cluster. An Alpina steering wheel with three solid spokes replaced the original, which could not be retrofitted with shift paddles for the automatic. Gear selection was displayed in an Alpina-specific display mounted in front of the wheel.

Performance of the Alpina V8 differed from that of the standard car in that peak power was reduced to 375 hp (280 kW) while peak torque was raised to 383 lb·ft (519 N·m); this torque was available at significantly lower rpm than the original in order to enable more relaxed cruising. Curiously, the electronically limited top speed was officially raised to 161 mph (259 km/h).

Only 555 of these Alpinas were built, 450 of which were exported to the U.S. market and only eight to the UK.[5] In the United States, this special edition of the Z8 was sold directly through BMW dealerships, marking a first for Alpina, whose cars had never been sold through retail channels in the U.S.

2013 BMW Alpina B7

For the time being, BMW has left it up to close collaborator Alpina to create a turbocharged V8-powered rival for the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG and Audi S8. We've been lucky enough to take a few spirited drives in Alpinafied BMWs on the no-limit Autobahns around the company's headquarters in Buchloe, Germany, over the years, and each experience has been solidly hair-raising.

Other than creating what may be the country's ultimate everyday Autobahn missiles, Alpina does wonders for the ride and handling of the BMW models they touch, along with providing impressively reworked transmission interfaces and improved overall responsiveness. In the case of this B7, Alpina turns the 7 Series into the best big Bimmer going.

In the niche of thundering bi-turbo V8 luxury sedans, only this 532-horsepower Alpina B7, 512-hp Audi S8 and the 536-hp Mercedes S63 AMG (563 horses, that is, with the $7,300 AMG Performance Package) really reach this particular level. The $139,625 Porsche Panamera Turbo and the $176,275 Turbo S are both fine rides, but they aren't traditional sedans, and their unusual aesthetics don't always appeal to the buttoned-down execs that buy traditional premium saloons.

It's not surprising that buying either the B7 Bimmer or the S63 Benz will likely set you back some $140,000 to $145,000 once they are spec'd exactly the way you'd want 'em (the SWB-only Audi is a bit cheaper, at about $124k happily optioned). Base price for the Alpina B7 short wheelbase is $127,600 or $131,500 for the long wheelbase model, with a further $3,000 premium for xDrive. Following these, as a curveball, there's the 503-hp Jaguar XJ/XJL Supersport at around $126,000. The US comes closest with its Chrysler 300 SRT8 at 465 hp and a price of $60,000 tops in your driveway. It's like two separate worlds.


We were expecting greatness in our 750Li-based rear-wheel-drive Alpina B7, but it went a bit beyond our expectations. Its overall composure, grace and sophistication, even while in the sportiest of setups, are impressive. The N63B44 4.4-liter twin turbo engine with Valvetronic now pumps forth 540 hp between 5,200 and 6,250 rpm and 538 pound-feet of torque from 2,800 to 5,000 rpm. The pre-facelift B7, you may recall, offered but 493 hp and a "paltry" 516 lb-ft. For shame. Official 0-60 time is now listed at 4.3 seconds, while top speed has jumped from 175 mph in last year's car to 194 mph, a number that we tested ourselves on the latest episode of The List. Take your new B7 to a track with a really long straight; you'll be astounded at the pulling power the V8 pours out right up until the braking point – and the Alpina compound brake set is forever up to the task.

Alpina has done extensive aero work to the standard 7 Series bodyshell for big increases in cooling air flow to the engine and brakes. The whole front chin has been redesigned with larger intakes and each passage ducted to cool one specific portion of this finely tuned high-performance mix.

BMW shows up-armored X5 concept

BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.

Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards – the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.

Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.

Underhood, the Concept X5 Security Plus is a lot like what will show up at regular dealerships. A twin-turbocharged, 450-horsepower V8 will sit up front and should deliver enough grunt – even with the extra weight, to escape any baddies that come after it.

We sent out intrepid reporter Jonathon Ramsey to take some pictures of the Bavarian beast, but it seems as though Messe security is spoiling everyone's fun. Says Ramsey, "Without a hint of irony, BMW has put the X5 Armored in the Security Lounge, which I cannot penetrate." Suffice it to say then, that you can have a look at our stock image gallery above, or peek below for the full press release from BMW.

BMW ha traído un vehículo de concepto ligeramente diferente a la del Automóvil de Frankfurt 2013. En lugar de algo que presagia un futuro producto o una nueva dirección de diseño, el fabricante con sede en Munich ha traído un X5 que está diseñado para ser disparado. Se llama el concepto X5 Security Plus. El nombre X5 Concept es un poco engañoso, sin embargo. Se basa en el 2014 X5, mientras que BMW ya se construye un CUV blindada, denominada Seguridad X5. La etiqueta concepto tiene que ver con el "Plus Seguridad" parte. 


 جلبت BMW سيارة مفهوم مختلف قليلا لعام 2013 معرض فرانكفورت للسيارات. بدلا من أن ينذر شيئا منتج المستقبل أو اتجاه التصميم الجديد، فقد وجهت الشركة المصنعة ومقرها ميونيخ وX5 التي تهدف لاطلاق النار عليهم في. انها تسمى مفهوم X5 الأمن زائد. مفهوم X5 اسم مضلل بعض الشيء، على الرغم من. أنها تقوم على 2014 X5، بينما BMW يبني بالفعل CUV مدرعة، ودعا الأمن X5. العلامة مفهوم له علاقة مع "زائد الأمن" جزء.

2013 BMW 650i Gran Coupe Long-Term

 

You are what you drive. Except in Los Angeles, where what you drive is usually who you want to be. In L.A., first impressions count, and because there's so much expensive automotive eye candy on the street, when someone says "nice car" as you're gassing up your ride, you pay attention. It's happened to me a couple of times while pumping another tankful of premium into the BMW 650i Gran Coupe. Munich's low-slung four-door seems right at home in Tinseltown.  

After a couple of months behind the wheel of the Gran Coupe, the great first impressions linger -- I still steal an over-the-shoulder glance at that glamorous profile every time I walk away from it in a parking lot -- but the day-to-day realities are crowding in.

An 850-mile round trip to Phoenix and back via Yuma and San Diego revealed the Gran Coupe to be an exceptional grand tourer. When conditions allow, it will cruise at 100 mph with the engine turning barely 2400 rpm. Wind and road noise are commendably low, and like all German cars, it tracks beautifully in a straight line. That tall gearing helps fuel economy on the freeway – the Grand Coupe averaged 24.1 mpg on one 260-mile leg of the Phoenix trip – but the 4417-pound curb weight takes its toll in stop-start running: I've seen as low as 9.9 mpg bustling between the stop signs on L.A. back streets.

 

 To rub salt into the wound, the Gran Coupe's tank holds just 18.5 gallons and is frustratingly slow to fill. Premium unleaded is not the only thing the Gran Coupe likes to drink, either. The low oil level warning light flashed on at just 2600 miles, causing mild consternation, not just because I was traveling at 70 mph on a freeway at the time, but also because the last long-term BMW I ran (a 730d back in England in 2003) did 18,000 hard miles without me even lifting the hood.

Checking the oil is quite a ritual. You must first park on a level surface with the transmission in Park or Neutral, and the engine idling at operating temperature. Then you have to hit the menu button on iDrive controller, scroll to "Vehicle Info," depress the controller button again, scroll to the fourth icon down, and depress the controller once more. The revs will rise from normal idle speed of 750 rpm to 1100 rpm, and 72 seconds later, you'll be told how much oil to add. Ah technology…making our lives simpler. The computer told me the Gran Coupe needed a quart, which was a little worrying after so few miles. Was it simply under-filled at the factory? Is the twin-turbo V-8 an oil-burner during break-in? Or is there a more sinister problem lurking? I feel like the guy in the horror movie who's just realized that gorgeous blonde he's dating could be an ax murderer.

Legendary Cars BMW M1

The M models of the Bavarian car maker are legendary for sports fans worldwide, with CP are also plenty of followers around the M-granddaddy owned everything in the Top 10 to vote.

Donor form of the M1 is a prototype called “BWM Turbo“ from the year 1972, a feasibility study for vehicle safety. Four years later, was started in St. Agatha in Italy the development. Italy? Read correctly, Lamborghini and the designer Giorgio Giugiaro directed by BMW took over the drafting of the vehicle. Problems with the manufacturer of the bull in its logo, however, forced the Bavarians from a home visit and a night-and-dagger operation was carted all the documents and parts to Munich. For the completion of the development was at BMW’s “BMW Motorsport GmbH founded”, which has since been involved in the particularly sporty cars of the AG. The real reason for the construction of the M1 was the planned use in international motorsport. M1 was a sports car that was produced by German automaker BMW from 1978 to 1981. In the late 1970s, Italian manufacturer Lamborghini entered into an agreement with BMW to build a production racing car in sufficient quantity for homologation.

 The result was sold to the public, from 1978 to 1981, as the BMW M1. It was the only mid-engined BMW to be mass produced. It employed a twin-cam M88/1 3.5 L 6-cylinder petrol engine with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. A version of this motor was later used in the South African version of the BMW 735i, of which 209 examples were built between 1984 and 1986, as well as the E24 BMW M6/M635CSi and E28 BMW M5. The engine had six separate throttle butterflies, four valves per cylinder and produced 277 PS (204 kW; 273 hp) in the street version, giving a top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph).



Turbocharged racing versions were capable of producing around 850 hp (634 kW).

The M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the Motorsport division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing. The body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW Turbo show car. Originally, BMW commissioned Lamborghini to work out the details of the car's chassis, assemble prototypes and manufacture the vehicles, but Lamborghini's financial position meant that BMW reassumed control over the project in April 1978, after seven prototypes were built. Only 456 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW's rarest models. The spirit of the M1 lived on in the M635Csi and the first-generation M5, which shared the same (though slightly modified) engine

bmw 650i 2014

Grand touring coupes are all about dispatching journeys in comfort and dazzling onlookers upon arrival. Thanks to an opulent cabin, voluptuous sheetmetal and a pair of effortlessly powerful engine options, BMW's 6-Series is able to achieve both goals in memorable fashion. In addition to the stylish coupe detailed in this page, the 6-Series is also available in convertible and four-door Gran Coupe forms.

The BMW 327

Recent Changes BMW recently upgraded the 650i's V8 from 400 to 445 horsepower and discontinued the available six-speed manual transmission. A new M Sport Edition package offers a number of luxury and appearance features at a discount.

Overview Though the 6-Series shares a platform with BMW's unassuming 5-Series sedan, you'd be hard pressed to tell that by looking at its shapely exterior. Well-balanced proportions and graceful surface detailing give the coupe an understated yet subtly muscular look that will likely still look fresh 20 years down the line. Simplicity of design and opulence of material quality are the defining characteristics of the interior. A minimalistic instrument panel serves up all of the vital information the driver needs - nothing more, nothing less - while BMW's iDrive infotainment system keeps the number of secondary controls down to a manageable level. This straightforwardness contributes greatly to ease of use and also focuses attention on the supple leather upholstery, delicate French stitching and impressive wood or aluminum trim that adorn the cabin. Space is abundant for front-seat occupants, but a paucity of legroom and headroom mean the rear seats are best left to children. Entertainment, navigation and Bluetooth functions are displayed on a 10.2-inch high-definition display and controlled by iDrive, which was much-maligned when first introduced but has since evolved into one of the more user-friendly infotainment systems on the market. iDrive also provides access to ConnectedDrive, which enables passengers to get directions with real-time traffic information, surf the internet on the go, utilize concierge services and more. A variety of high-tech driver and safety systems are optional: Surround View parking camera system, Parking Assistant, BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition, a Lane Departure Warning System and Active Blind Spot Detection along with the BMW Head-Up-Display. The latest incarnation of this system projects vital information onto the windshield in full color. For audiophiles, the Bang & Olufsen High-End Surround Sound System provides what BMW describes as "a feast of aural pleasure seldom experienced inside a car." Let's Talk Performance The 6-Series is offered as the six-cylinder 640i or the eight-cylinder 650i. The 640i features BMW's smooth single-turbo "N55″ 3.0-liter inline-six, which makes 315 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. Though slightly slower than the 650i, the 640i's smaller engines equates to a lighter overall weight and slightly more nimble handling as well as an impressive fuel economy: the EPA rates the car at 21 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. The 650i packs BMW's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 under the hood, which was upgraded for the latest model year with BMW's Valvetronic variable valve timing and lift system. This change helps the mill to crank out 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque (upgrades of 45 ponies and 30 lb-ft). Zero-to-60 mph can be achieved in under five seconds, though fuel economy drops to 15/23 mpg. Both models shift through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Available exclusively on the 650i is BMW's "xDrive" all-wheel-drive system, which adds a couple hundred pounds of agility-sapping weight but allows the big coupe to motor its way through all but the worst inclement weather. Although the 6-Series is a large and heavy coupe, careful chassis tuning means that it drives like a much smaller, lighter vehicle. An optional Adaptive Drive system ratchets up the sportyness factor by using electronically adjustable dampers and stabilizers to minimize body roll. Also optional is Integral Active Steering, which adds rear-wheel steering to the mix in order to increase low-speed agility and high-speed stability.

Standard and Optional Features The 6-Series comes standard with leather upholstery, a navigation system with a 10.2-inch display, voice command functionality and 20 GB of storage space, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, dynamic cruise control, a rear-view camera, a nine-speaker, 205-watt AM/FM/CD stereo system with HD radio and a USB input, a sunroof, a proximity key, xenon headlights, LED foglights and 18-inch alloy wheels. Highlights from the lengthy options list include the M Sport Package, which includes an aggressive body kit, shadowline exterior trim, an M steering wheel, alcantara headliner and 19-inch alloy wheels; the Executive Package, which brings ventilated multi-contour front seats, a head-up display, a premium sound system and concierge services; and the Lighting Package, which adds full LED lights and automatic high beams. A newly available M Sport Edition package builds on the normal M Sport package by adding extra features at no extra cost. It decks out the interior with a Nappa leather dashboard and a head-up display.

http://toplegendarycars.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/bmw_girls-197x300.jpg

Opt for the 650i and BMW will throw in a handful of extra safety and driver assistance systems, including Active Driving Assistance, Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, Side and Top View Cameras and Speed Limit Info. Outside, M Sport Edition models receive adaptive LED headlights and an available Sakhir Orange metallic paintwork, which was previously available only on hard-core M models like the M6 and M5.


Occupant Safety All 6-Series coupe models are fitted with dual front, front side and full-length side curtain airbags in addition to traction and stability control systems, electronic brakeforce distribution and a tire pressure monitoring system.


Key Competitors Competition for the 6-Series ranges the gamut from larger luxury coupes like the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and sportier machines like the Porsche 911 Carrera to the Jaguar XK, which splits the difference between the extremes. leftlanenews.com

Gran Lusso Coupe

The first collaboration between BMW and Pininfarina is this blunt-force two-door called the BMW Pininfarini Gran Lusso Coupe revealed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Said to be the "interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina," once you get past all of the design-speak, you can focus on the full-bodied and keen-edged missile sitting on 21-inch wheels.

The long wheelbase makes for short overhangs. Up front, BMW's design language gets scraped across a whetstone, everything getting sharper, including the usually round cat's eye headlights that have gone dihedral. Under the hood is a V12, behind the twin-kidney grille in matte-sheen aluminium and high-gloss black. The same aluminum treatment also backs the taillights, the lenses designed to let air flow through them.

Inside is room for four, a cockpit canted toward the driver, Foglizzo leather in black and Tobacco Brown, 48,000-year-old kauri wood from New Zealand, deep pile carpet on the floors, a patterned virgin wool headliner and an "oblong aperture in the roof liner" set off by white LEDs.

There are words as flowery as the materials in the press release below and a gallery of high-res images to make sense of it all above. What do you think, should BMW consider a production version of this concept as a successor to the long-dormant 8 Series? Have your say in Comments.

Cernobbio. BMW zeigt auf der Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2013 die Studie BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé. Das Konzeptfahrzeug basiert auf dem verkürzten BMW 7er und entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der Turiner Karosserieschmiede Pininfarina.

An diesem Wochenende findet am Comer See in Italien der Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este statt, das prestigeträchtigste Oldtimer-Treffen der Welt. Traditionell wird das Event von Herstellern genutzt, um auch moderne Studien zu präsentieren. BMW ist mit dem Konzeptfahrzeug BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé vertreten. Das edle Design stammt aus der Feder von Fabio Filippini, dem Chefdesigner des Karosseriebauunternehmens Pininfarina. Elegante Linienführung

Als Basis für die Studie diente ein BMW 7er. Die Front mit der prägnanten Niere fällt BMW-typisch aus, die Schürze ist jedoch weit nach unten gezogen, um auf die Sportlichkeit des Coupés zu verweisen. Ins Auge fallen auch die zu Schlitzen verengten Scheinwerfer. Die Motorhaube fällt extrem lang aus, hingegen das Heck sehr kurz gehalten ist. Die Seiten der insgesamt extrem flachen und breiten Studie sind von Luftauslässen hinter den Kotflügeln geprägt. Serienproduktion denkbar

Unter der Haube des BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé sitzt der aus dem BMW 760i bekannte V12-Motor mit sechs Litern Hubraum. Fahrwerte sind nicht bekannt. Wie es aus BMW-Kreisen heißt, sei eine Serienproduktion des BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupé nicht ausgeschlossen, man wolle jedoch zunächst den Erfolg beim Publikum auf der Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este abwarten.
